Or another example:

    [javac]
/builddir/build/BUILD/jdom-JDOM-2.0.5/core/src/java/org/jdom2/ContentList.java:1241:
error: sort(Comparator<? super F>) in ContentList.FilterList cannot
implement sort(Comparator<? super E>) in List
    [javac] 		final void sort(final Comparator<? super F> comp) {
    [javac] 		           ^
    [javac]   attempting to assign weaker access privileges; was public
    [javac]   where F,E are type-variables:
    [javac]     F extends Content declared in class ContentList.FilterList
    [javac]     E extends Object declared in interface List

Package: jdom2
